Graniteville, SC (28 August 2019, 10:45 am) – Late last night around 9:30 pm, deputies arrested Christian Skylar Morris (18 yo) for Malicious Injury to Real Property more than $2,000.  This arrest stems from an investigation that began on August 18th where the Chairman of the Grounds reported significant damage to the Calvary Baptist Church.  Deputies were told that from August 16th to August 18th unknown suspects threw rocks through eleven windows, egged several doors and wrote profane graffiti on several doors.  The damage to the church was estimated to be several thousand dollars. Investigators are currently working on identifying and locating a female juvenile (14-15 yo) that is suspected in being involved in this case.

 

From Sheriff Michael Hunt: “We are grateful to several citizens that assisted in providing information that lead to the arrest of Morris.  Even though we have an arrest, there is still work to be done with this investigation. It is my hope that this serves as an example of what is possible from the collaborative efforts between citizens of Aiken County and the Sheriff’s Office.
